When are the Fire Safety Engineer (FSE) and Peer Reviewer required?
The Building Developer should engage the FSE on the onset of building project involving
performance-based works, during the conceptual design stage, and not as a remedial solution
to resolve deadlocks in the approval process.
The Building Developer should engage the Peer Reviewer only after the FSE has completed his
Fire Safety Engineering Report (FSER), detailed specifications and drawings and the Building
Operations and Maintenance manual (O&M). It is important that the Peer Reviewer does not
participate or interfere with the design process prior to this stage. The Peer Reviewer will make
his comments in his Peer Reviewer’s Report. In the event that the Peer Reviewer has disagreeable
comments on the documents reviewed, the FSE and the Peer Reviewer will need to discuss
objectively to resolve the outstanding issues.
The Project QP is responsible to submit all the mentioned documents to the Relevant Authority
for final plan approval.
